Face Brick Bungalow and 
Small House Plans 


HE houses here shown form one of four series, presenting in 

separate folders 3 to 4 room, 5 room, 6 room, and 7 to 8 room plans, 
In each folder every two houses on opposite pages constitute a pair 
in which the same floor plans are reversed and the exterior designs so 
drawn as to fit either plan. Thus, in any pair of houses given you 
really have four choices, because you can have either exterior design 
with the floor plans just as shown or with the reversed plans on the 
opposite page. This not only offers you a choice of design with any 
given plan you prefer, but helps you in locating the house on the lot 
so as to get the desired exposure to the sun. 


A special merit of these drawings is that. three wall sections are 
given for each house, showing the complete wall construction for solid 
brick, face brick on hollow tile backing, and veneer, or face brick in- 
stead of siding over frame. This will enable you to obtain figures on 
costs of the various types of wall in your locality, and thus help you 
decide on the methods of construction you wish. 


The nominal price we ask for these plans is far below their real 
money value to you and very much below their cost to us, if we dis- 
posed of only one set. But we hope to come out even by selling a 
large number so that, as a result, the individual purchaser will get 
the benefit of the great reduction in price. 


To be frank, we want to sell you face brick, and to do so we put 
you in the way of getting the best type of house from both the 
material and artistic points of view. In issuing these plans, the Service 
Department is guided by thoroughly trained and experienced archi- 
tectural advice, and is fortunate in having secured the co-operation 
of Messrs. Clark & Walcott and Mr. Charles E. White, Jr., Chicago 
architects, well known for the excellence of their house designs. 


We have levied upon the best practice, from every available source, 
and can thus offer you the most convenient and modern interior 
arrangements, combined with artistic beauty of exterior design, that 
it is possible to secure. As long as you are going to build, it will cost 
you no more to make your home beautiful and architecturally correct 
than to make it crude and unattractive. With these plans, we put 
into your hands architectural values in design which you could not. 
possibly get otherwise for the nominal price we name. Even if you 
should not use the drawings, or change them, it would pay you to have 
them for study and comparison in formulating your own plans.

An Economical Home for Young Married People 


A young couple starting out in life will find in 
this plan the solution of a big problem. The origi- 
nal cost and the maintenance are small and the 
furnishings simple, enabling them to live well 
within their income. They will enjoy the comfort 
and pleasure of their own garden and fireside 
while saving and planning for future days. They 
will find it cozy to breakfast in the dining alcove 
or dine by the fireside in the living room. 

And it will be far superior to a small, crowded 
apartment involving high rent bills which would

better be applied on paying for a home. The rooms 
of this charming little Colonial bungalow are 
large, light, and cheerful, while the exterior is ex- 
ceedingly attractive. A large lot is not needed 
unless one wishes an extensive garden. 

All told it is a very attractive and livable little 
home for any young couple until increasing fortune 
permits or justifies a larger and more pretentious 
house. The interior arrangements are given on 
the opposite page where the reverse plan is shown 
with a different exterior design.

A Cozy Place of the Western Type 


Compactly built, necessitating the minimum 
amount of care, this should make an ideal home for 
two people. The living room is large enough for 
entertaining and has a real fireplace, a feature 
sadly lacking in most apartments. A disappearing 
bed in an adjoining closet makes a second bed- 
room when required for an occasional guest. 

There is no dining room, as the dining room 
alcove in the kitchen will serve all the family 
requirements, while upon more formal occasions, 
a gate-leg table in the living room will accom- 


modate a large dinner party. The compact little 
kitchen, with its alcove and china cabinet and 
well-lighted sink, will prove to be a saving con- 
venience and constant joy to the lady of the house. 
In the rear entry is space for the ice box with a 
storage cabinet above, and also a broom closet. 

The bedroom and bath are connected with the 
main part of the house by a small hall. The bath 
room has a fine cabinet for linens. The basement, 
like that of No. 301, has heating plant, fuel room, 
laundry, and vegetable cellar.

Three-Room Bungalow, No. 303 


LIVING RGOM 
24'0°x12°0” 


Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association 


Two Rooms Upstairs Possible as Your Family Grows 


This attractive Colonial bungalow is designed 
along apartment lines for those who wish the 
convenience of the apartment combined with the 
pleasures of their own home. It is not large or 
expensive to build and is suitable for a small lot, 
which would reduce the total investment. 

The bungalow feeling predominates in the ex- 
terior, but the roof is high enough to allow the 
finishing of two more bedrooms and a bath, or a 
den, upstairs if desired. The openings are so care- 
fully placed that the house is quite attractive from 


all points of view. Any shade or texture of brick 
would be adaptable to this design, for which 
shrubbery and vines are especially suitable, tend- 
ing to make it appear as an integral part of its 
natural surroundings. 

The interior arrangements are described on the 
opposite page, where this plan is reversed and 
shown with an English exterior. There is a base- 
ment under both houses with the usual laundry, 
heater room and fuel bins, a fruit closet and cellar- 
age for vegetables.

A Compact, Three-Room Apartment Bungalow 


This interesting English design combines in the 
plan all of the most modern ideas in condensed 
house arrangement. The predominant feature is 
the unusually large living room, made even larger 
by the inviting fireplace nook. Adjoining it is the 
breakfast porch, enclosed in glass, so that it is not 
simply a fair-weather porch, although it can be 
thrown wide open when the elements permit. It 
serves for dining room and porch, even for a sleep- 
ing porch if you choose. While the china cabinets 
screen it from the kitchen, the division is not 


so complete as to rob the compact little food 
laboratory of roominess. 

A short passage gives access to the bedroom, 
the bath, the linen closet, and the coat closet. A 
sizable dressing closet not only gives an unusual 
amount of closet space but also accommodates a 
wall bed which can be swung out into the living 
room if required, making a spare bedroom on 
occasion. In fact, the dressing closet itself is large 
enough for a child’s bed, a great convenience 
where there are small children.

Four-Room Bungalow, No. 401 


Economically Planned to Lower Costs 


The twin-gabled porch of this attractive Colo- 
nial bungalow adds a distinctive touch to the pleas- 
ing proportions and roof lines. No other orna- 
mentation is necessary than that obtained by a 
good brick bond and a well-considered color 
scheme of brickwork and mortar joint. 

There is a large amount of porch in proportion 
to the size of the house, giving splendid oppor- 
tunity to enclose one end as a sun parlor. A large 
lot is not necessary, but one with a slope to the 
rear would allow good basement windows above 


grade in the rear while the brick porch floor would 
be Jaid upon the natural grade in front. Upon a 
level lot the earth from the excavation should be 
used to form a terrace in front, thereby saving the 
cost of carting it away. | 

Those looking for an economically planned 
house, will find it in this simple, rectangular plan. 
Straight walls, few corners, simple interior fram- 
ing, plumbing concentrated at one point, and one 
chimney are a few of its practical merits. Floor 
plan and basement are the same as in No. 402.

A Bungalow of the English Type 


All the essentials for comfortable living have 
been incorporated within the walls of this attrac- 
tive little English bungalow. The living room, well 
lighted and ventilated, has a cheery fireplace in 
the corner. A large closet off the living room ac- 
commodates a disappearing bed, which really adds 
another bedroom. 

The kitchen is equipped with two large cabinets 
extending to the ceiling, taking the place of the 
pantry. In the rear entry is space for the refrig- 
erator, above which is another cabinet. Both 


kitchen and living room are large enough for din- 
ing as the family may choose. If, however, one 
wished a dining room, the rear bedroom may be 
so transformed and connected with the kitchen 
across the entry. 

Two good corner bedrooms with closets and a 
connecting hall complete the plan. From this hall 
opens the stairs to the basement and to the attic, 
which may be finished into a good-sized bedroom ~ 
and bath. Note the fine linen cabinet in one 
corner of the bath room.

An American Cousin of the West 


The fine chimney, the simple and attractive 
roof lines, the fenestration and the brick steps, 
leading to the outside vestibule, combine here 
into a very pleasing whole. It gives to the re- 
versed plan of No. 403 a western American in 
place of an English expression. 

While designed especially for a narrow inside 
lot, it is evident that thought has been given to 
the appearance of the side of this Western bunga- 
low, so that it might be placed broadside on a 
wider lot or be made to grace the corner. There 


is an opportunity in this design for artistic dis- 
play of brickwork in such bonds as English, 
Dutch, Flemish, or Garden Wall, not forgetting, 
of course, the proper treatment of the mortar 
joints. These should harmonize with the brick in 
color and as a general rule be in contrast so as to 
set off distinctly any bond or pattern employed. 

Both houses have a fine basement, complete with 
laundry, heating plant, fuel bins, and vegetable 
cellar. A doorway on the stair landing at grade 
gives convenient access to the basement. 


Four-Room Bungalow, No. 405 


Designed for the Service Department of The American Face Brick Association 


A Small House with Real Architectural Merit 


It is easier to design a large than a small house, 
but here the architect has succeeded in producing 
an extremely attractive effect with the restricted 
masses and simple lines of this small house. The 
fine chimney, the roof, the gabled porch, the pro- 
portion of height to length and breadth, and the 
fenestration combine into a very pleasing whole. 
The large, square porch forms a complete pro- 
tection for the entrance, which lets you directly 
into the ample living room where a convenient 
coat closet accommodates wraps, umbrellas, and 


the like. A cheerful fireplace gives the room a 
very homey feeling. A closet for a disappearing 
bed practically makes of the living room another 
bedroom when occasion demands. 

A short hall leads to the dining room and 
kitchen, and connects the bedroom with the bath. 
The rear porch is glazed, screened, and heated, 
and has a foundation wall around it, so that it 
may be used for more than just a rear porch. It 
could be made an attractive all-the-year-round 
dining porch.

A Touch of the Renaissance 


The versatile architect has here developed out 
of No. 405 a totally different but none the less 
charming design. It is somewhat more reserved 
and dignified and, in fact, in its arcaded porch 
gives a suggestion of the Italian renaissance. 

This design offers a rare chance for the artistry 
of brickwork. While the field could be treated 
with a simple running bond, much could be made 
of the frieze under the eaves, the base and band 
courses, window lintels and sills, and the arches 
of the porch columns, by the handling of analogous 


color tones. Striking contrasts should not be used. 
This type of house lends itself to a charming 
landscape treatment which by no means requires 
large spaces. It is a matter of lawn, shrubbery, 
flowers and vines, so disposed as to serve as 
embellishment for the general mass of the house. 
A brick walk, of the same color as the house, would 
intimately link the landscape and house together. 
Note, as in No. 405, the basement windows 
which give light and ventilation to the laundry 
and heater, coal, vegetable, and storage rooms.

An Architectural Gem with a Practical Plan 


With the cool, recessed porch, shown in the pic- 
ture, and all corner rooms, this cottage should 
be delightfully comfortable. The second story is 
not finished but there is sufficient room to accom- 
modate two additional bedrooms and bath accord- 
ing to the suggested second floor plan shown. 

The entrance is so sheltered that there is no need 
for a vestibule, although an inner door could be 
easily added. A convenient coat closet is placed 
adjacent to the front door. The large, well- 
lighted living room has an attractive fireplace set 


in a slight recess, which adds to the apparent width 
of the room. The end of the living room, used for 
dining, is convenient to the kitchen which is so 
placed that it cannot be seen from the living room. 

The kitchen is compact, well arranged and has 
cupboards in place of a pantry. A fine place is 
provided for a kitchen cabinet. The refrigerator 
may be iced from the outside, and a hopper 
receives the garbage for an incinerator in the 
basement. The bedrooms and bath are secluded 
in the rear portion of the house.

A Delightful English Cottage for an Inside Lot 


This entirely new and attractive exterior for 
the reversal of the plan on the opposite page is 
a successfully striking example of the English type. 
The half-timbered gable with its herringbone 
pattern brickwork, will make this house stand 
out among its neighbors. 

The second story may be finished as in No. 
407, except that a different arrangement is re- 
quired as shown in drawing. If so desired, however, 
the second floor may be used for a play room, 
billiard room, or a similar use. 


This plan is adaptable to a narrow lot, as the 
kitchen has been placed on the side of the house, 
leaving an unobstructed rear view to be enjoyed 
from the two bedrooms. 

The wicket gate and brick wall to the lot line 
is an exceedingly attractive feature, while screen- 
ing from view the kitchen porch. Under both 
this house and its alternate opposite is a basement 
reached by an inside and an outside stairway in 
which the usual laundry, heating plant, fuel bin, 
vegetable cellar, and storage room are included.
